RECAP - 9.11 Service of Reflection Ceremony |
|
The tragedy that occurred in this nation on September 11th, 2001, can never be forgotten. Sunday, September 11th, marked the twenty-first anniversary of that fateful day, and the City of Plainfield hosted a service of reflection at Black Lives Matter Plaza.
Mayor Adrian O. Mapp spoke with passion about the emotions that are always present on this day. He also remarked on the bravery of the first responders who ran into the buildings without hesitation and without regard for themselves. They were selfless to the end.
Remarks were also provided by Council President Barry Goode, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, Union County Commissioner Chair Rebecca Williams, Police Director James T. Abney, Deputy Chief John Reed, and Rescue Squad Vice President Tim Lowe, Sr. The common theme among all presenters was remembering where they were on that fateful day and the heroism of the first responders.
A special thank you to the Plainfield High School ROTC, who participated in the event, along with Anjanah Lovett, who performed the National Anthem and a Change is Gonna Come.
This day will live forever in our hearts, and we can only hope that time will heal the sorrow and grief. We stand united as a nation. We stand with all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
We will never forget!

On November 19, 2022, the audience favorite Pops Concert, entitled “Life is a Cabaret,” will include works by George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Cole Porter and other surprises. The soloists will be returning critically acclaimed tenor Brian Cheney along with musical and operetta performer Monica Arnó.

What Is The Love Plainfield Campaign? |
The Love Plainfield campaign launched on March 9, 2021. It's an initiative focused on fostering a spirit of love, pride, and unity in the City of Plainfield while encouraging residents to work together to celebrate and promote the Queen City's rich history and vibrant culture. (La campaña Love Plainfield se lanzó el 9 de marzo de 2021.

What defines a place is its people, and our people are diverse and unique. Our residents are the best resource that Plainfield has, and it's up to us as "One Plainfield" family to showcase our Plainfield Pride and show our Love for this city we call home. (Lo que define a un lugar es su gente, y nuestra gente es diversa y única. Nuestros residentes son el mejor recurso que tiene Plainfield, y depende de nosotros como familia "One Plainfield" mostrar nuestro Orgullo de Plainfield y mostrar nuestro amor por esta ciudad que llamamos hogar.)
